About this map

Jefferson serves as a central hub for this portion of Lincoln County, where the West Branch Davis Stream meets the northern reaches of Damariscotta Lake. The landscape is characterized by a dense concentration of family cemeteries, such as the Joshua Moody Cem, Francis Jones Cem, and Eliphalet Jones Cem, offering significant data for genealogical research into the area's early settlers. These small burial plots are scattered among the ridges and hills, including Haskell Hill and Eugley Hill.

The map details several small settlements and crossroads that have defined the local geography for generations, including North Jefferson, Stickney Corner, and Orffs Corner. To the west, Camp Wavus occupies a prominent position on the shoreline of the lake, while the eastern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the course of the Medomak River. The network of rural roads, such as Waldoboro Rd and Gardiner Rd, connects these dispersed communities across a terrain of wetlands and woods.
